Blade mCX2 - super easy, fun indoors and will teach you the basics. No outdoors, too light.
Blade mSR/mSRX - more challenging, but doable once you get used to it and can teach you a lot more than the mCX2 can. Outdoors in dead calm only.
Blade 120SR - much larger, about double an mSR. More challenging still, can be flown outdoors with a light breeze.
Blade mSR/mSRX - more challenging, but doable once you get used to it and can teach you a lot more than the mCX2 can. Outdoors in dead calm only.

MCX2 - coaxial
mSR/120SR - fixed pitch
mSRX - fixed pitch flybarless
The mCX is an older version of the mCX2, it has a rate mode gyro. The mCX300 is just an mCX with a Hughes 300 body.
The mCPX is a much more difficult collective pitch flybarless helicopter. Better as a 2nd or 3rd helicopter.
Esky HB2 is a larger fixed pitch heli, personally I would stay away from Esky stuff.

Instead, pay more money up front and you'll get a better quality helicopter and it will actually be easier to learn on than the cheap crappy ones. The saying "you get what you pay for" really applies here

i guess with the msrx u get flybarless? is it worth the extra money compare to msr?
so i cant decide with msr and 120sr since 120 is abit bigger and i can use it outside if i want...
how about align trex 100s

Personally I'd go with the mSRX over a 120 because it is more durable and you can fly it inside when it is raining.
The Trex 100S is similar to a mSR (not X), but has a crappier radio. If you upgrade to a nicer Spektrum radio in the future, you can still fly the mSRX.

120sr too big for inside or not as durable?

I received the 9958 over Christmas and it was a pretty impressive heli really. My only other experience was with a CX2. The CX2 was to big to really fly around in my house and was hard to fly outdoors in all but zero wind.
I am having some issues with the 9958 after a crash that I havent been able to correct yet (TBE). Ordered a Trex 100s last night too (easier to get parts for locally). The radio is a nicer unit than the Blades in my opinion and it will bind to more models than the Spektrum equipped Eflite. Since I already had a Turnigy 9x radio, I went with the Trex. The Blade and Trex seem to be similar in quality and support is certainly better than the units coming out of China though they cost twice as much. Hoping to jump into the MCP after a few more months with training wheels.

I work at a hobby shop and about 75% of the helis we sell are BNF or RTF Spektrum-compatible. The rest are more expensive Align kits that don't come with electronics.
